Visiting family

Emily and I went to my cousin Aimee's place to visit with her and her baby Jack. Jack smiles so sweetly and is quite a happy little guy!

Resurrection Sunday

Emily in her first Easter dress, with Elly helping her stand up. :) Her Grandma Donna bought it for her.

Grandma Donna came to visit us during her Spring Break! Emily was pleased to get a lot of play time in, and she chatted quite a bit with her Montana grandma.
Emily likes to read to her daddy. She has lots to say these days.

It seems the days of toothless grins are coming to an end. This may be one of the last gummy smile pictures.... we can see teeth are on their way!
Look how fast I can move my arms! The camera can't even capture them!
But I'm going to try to capture the camera!

Grandpa Buss comes to visit! And a VERY fun gift comes in the mail!!

Carey's dad came up on Amtrak to see us for a few days! We had a great visit, and Emily loved getting some extensive walking lessons.
My dad says that her right leg is good at walking but the left leg doesn't really get it yet. So it looks like she'll still be using other modes of transportation for awhile. :)
Grandpa Buss held Emily during breakfast, during dinner, and even babysat while Scott and Carey went to an International Student party on Friday night! Thanks dad!!
A wonderful surprise package came in the mail a few days ago!!! My best friend from my days in China.... Linda.... mailed us an outfit that her sweet mother (AKA my Chinese mum) handmade for Emily. It is complete with sweater, pants, and adorable booties. It is sooooo cute and soft and perfect! Can you see the beautiful stitching?! It's Em's favorite sweater now!
In true Chinese fashion, it even has the crotchless feature that all the babies wear over there! (Since they don't use the diaper). I love it! However, I think it's too late to train her to go only when I whistle. :)

Bridger walked by and upset the photo shoot, but it turned out to be a good shot of the hairstyle she's sporting these days.
